May 1st 2013. Our Journey On The Wild River.
Sometimes I wonder what I am doing here; the jungle contrasts so greatly to my normal domain. I am my happiest sitting
on my old chesterfield sofa, pen in hand, notebook on my lap. Indeed, that is how I have written my greatest poems. Now
the heat of the roaring fire has gone and instead the heat of the Borneo sun beats down on my back. Redmond, whom I

Richmond about searching for a calmer route, but he was already gazing into the sky again at some large and ungainly
